I have set a comment field on a comment entity. Yes, it is a comment on a comment on a User.
The problem is that I cannot use relationships in Views because there is a condition which forbids relationships between comments. There is no explanation in the code on why it's not allowed. Here is the code:
//...
// Provide a relationship for each entity type except comment.
foreach ($entities_types as $type => $entity_type) {
if ($type == 'comment' || !$entity_type->entityClassImplements(ContentEntityInterface::class) || !$entity_type->getBaseTable()) {
continue;
}
//...
Have a comment field set on a comment. Then go to Views. What is expected is to have the relationship: "The Comment to which the comment is a reply to.", but it's not there.
Remove the restriction on the comment type, or document why it's not allowed.
// Provide a relationship for each entity type.
foreach ($entities_types as $type => $entity_type) {
if (!$entity_type->entityClassImplements(ContentEntityInterface::class) || !$entity_type->getBaseTable()) {
continue;
}
